Still life: Photography by Guido Mocafico
Guido Mocafico has worked as a fashion photographer, but his interests range from landscape to still life to nature to architecture. His website is a true cabinet of curiosities, including collections of jellyfish, snakes, skulls, glaciers, ants crawling over diamond rings, and dead fish entwined with loops of pearls.
His book Medusa
Despite the obvious commercial context for his work, Mocafico clearly has a sense of humor about the industry; his 2001 series for the late mag The Face depicted fashionably dressed skeletons (actual skeletons, not starving models that resemble them).
